The photographs shown here are part of a larger body of work entitled “Careful” that I made for my Master’s Degree at Middlesex University, London.
They were taken in a variety of different locations over a period of a few years and were then sequenced together to tell a fictive story. In essence, the series showed how images of scenes and people that are unrelated and ostensibly have nothing to do with each other can be recontextualised – through sequencing – to tell a story that never existed except in the imagination of the artist and viewer.
For Nospokesman I have created a new sequence from a sample of these unrelated images to tell a new story – namely a dream.
As with an actual dream, where different, often seemingly unrelated things from the subconscious get connected together through all sorts of associations and jumps of logic, the images shown here show the erratic progression of a dream sequence that may or may not make sense to you, the viewer.
Perhaps this dream is nonsensical, perhaps it is not. Is there a coherent way to unravel the meaning? And does a dream even need to make sense? The interpretation of this dream is, in the end, your prerogative.
